ABC30 meteorologist Madeline Evans says there is a chance of storms over the Sierra Nevada, which could be dangerous.



She is expecting lightning, wind, and little rain - a combination that could lead to the sparking of flames that would spread quickly because of how dry it is.

In fact, CAL FIRE has already issued a Red Flag Warning in northern California due to potential dry lightning and low humidity.



The agency is warning residents there to remain alert and be ready to evacuate immediately.
